Compact Size and Light Weight

The high performance of the VX-131/132 is packed into a compact

(2.3" x 4.7" x 1.2" WHD) case, yielding a package that is small
enough to be unobtrusive yet large enough to provide a large
speaker and easy access to controls and switches. And the light
weight (less than 0.18 lb) of the VX-131/132 ensures that this
radio won’t weigh the user down!

Loud, Clear Receiver Audio

Providing up to a half Watt of crisp, clear audio from its receiver
section, the VX-131/132 is ideal for use in real-world working
environments. The careful design and large speaker ensure very
low distortion of received audio, for great user satisfaction.

Accessories & Options

157 Programmable Private Codes per Channel

Continuous Tone Controlled Squelch System (CTCSS) and
Digital Code Squelch (DCS) for Silent Monitoring in crowded RF
environments.

ARTS™ (Auto Range Transponding System)

Included in the VX-131/132 is Vertex Standard’s exclusive ARTS™
feature,

which can be critically important in search-and-rescue
applications.
equipped transceivers,

ARTS™ provides a "hand-shake" with other ARTS™-

and the display indicates if an "Out of
Range" condition exists. The base station can then alert the field
unit to move to a better location.

Battery Saver Circuit for Extended Operation

The VX-131 and VX-132 provide an innovative battery saver
feature that requires no user action to activate, yet it yields a
significant extension of operating time. The battery saver, after
a short period of not receiving signals, will periodically shut itself
down for short time intervals, while "polling" itself rapidly so as not
to miss incoming calls. The result is greatly reduced battery drain,
for more hours of operating between battery charges.
